Four, three, two........

.....One! I figure I only have about 4 more basketball games to shoot this season. Thursday, UNT; Friday, FWC; Saturday, TCU and Tuesday, TCU woman....and to be HONEST...I am glad. Kinda hooped out! Ready for March Madness on my couch but other than that NO MAS! Last night night Keller played Marcus in the first round of the playoffs and came up short 53-36. It was a decent effort by the Indians and their fans who brought out the "war paint"  and crazy hair cuts....but just couldn't score! Only 6 and 4 points in the 2nd and 3rd quarters respectively. Here's three............

It's another....

....playoff loss! The UIL girls basketball playoffs began here tonight in the State of Texas; I shot the Fossil Ridge vs. Southlake Carroll game at the new Byron Nelson High School in Trophy Club....yes, it's named after the golfer Byron Nelson, you think there will every be a Tiger Woods High School? Well, for a new high school the lightening SUCKED....the lights where bright, but some genius painted the ceiling of the gym and beam all BLACK!!! It sucked up so, so much light it was joke....so 3200 iso, 500 shutter, 2.2f with the 100mm and long 500, 2.8....Ohhhh yeah Fossil lost....so I think it's been now almost 22-months since I shot a winning team in a playoff game, the last was Fossil Ridge baseball! Still game up with a decent pair...

Never say....

NEVER! I never thought I would see too much color at a basketball game, but today was the case...TCU vs. Wyoming and The Lady Frogs sported PINK uniforms...or should I say HOT PINK! WOW!! What color.....I guess I should have enjoyed it...up to North Texas in a few, for poor flat light! Here's three....one doesn't show much color, but I like the image....

Chicks, Sticks and......

.....Dicks!!! But I have to admit I love the fights makes a hockey game much more fun. This Stars vs. Coyotes game would have been a bore if it wasn't for the early third period fight. Stars won 4-0 and controlled throughout. The image of the stick in the middle of the frame was shot with my 11-16mm and I swear the stick must have been 4 inches from my lens! Nothing special, but it's pretty cool knowing how close it was.....Chicks, Sticks and Dicks, here's all three.....

Two nights....



....in a row!!! WOW, how's that for bloggin? Well, shoot in the dungeon called "The Super Pit" up at UNT tonight, which I guess is a fitting name since it's dark like a PIT!!! Mike Jarvis, former St. Johns coach was in town now as he is the head coach at Florida Atlantic University. FAU they call it.....it's located in Boca Raton, FL...and their nickname "Owls"....so there's useless college  info for tonight! Here's a couple of pics of a VERY ENTERTAINING Mike Jarvis
